Bentley the Belgian mix – Sydney Dog Photos

Early last year I ran a huge giveaway to raise funds for Fetching Dogs. First prize was a Ruthless Photos voucher and Bentley's person was the lucky winner. Bentley really wanted to like me but if I could maybe not try to touch him or stand too close it would be just...

Will & Grace – Sydney Oodle Photographer

You'd be forgiven for thinking I've narrowed my niche to only photographing oodles, but it's just a coincidence that a lot of my sessions recently have been with these types of dogs (and I've more coming up!). My most recent curly coated models were litter mates Will...
